It's Ramadhan already and Eid is just around the corner! And of course, our MAJOR concern for the upcoming is Eid is if we will still fit into that custom made asymmetrical lace kurung we sent for tailoring by that major designer? I have so far gone to two fittings and I have yet to maintain my figure! Oh, the horror!

As you all know, I'm not the healthiest person out there. Having said that, I've always managed to maintain my weight and (sometimes) my figure. However, with age catching up, I find that my metabolism is really slowing down and I have since my wedding days, put on more than 10kg and I cannot fit into my designer pieces made to measure back when I was in my uni days!

Recently, I was introduced to Kerengga (which actually means giant red ant) which is a line of two products by MH Solutions: Kerengga Chocolate Shake and Poopoil Kerengga Chewable Tablet. Intended to be an additional supplement, it is said to help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism using natural ingredients.

Kerengga Chocolate Shake

The Kerengga Chocolate Shake tastes like Milo! It's so delicious! But the reality is, of course, you will not magically become skinny from consuming the chocolate shake!

How it works is that the 200ml drink will make you fill full for about 12 hours so you can control your diet. It's as easy as that!

Steps to consume Kerengga Chocolate Shake:

1. Mix one sachet of Kerengga Chocolate Shake with 200ml of cold water (avoid using hot water)

2. Shake the mixture

3. Consume once a day after breakfast

4. If you are above 80kg, consume a second mix after lunch.

Poopoil Kerengga Chewable Tablet

This chocolate flavoured chewable tablet is to be taken with the chocolate shake for best intended effect. Just consume 1-2 tablets a day, before breakfast.

My Thoughts & Experience

As I come from a family full of doctors, I chose to give this product as it is approved by KKM 290817/08/141. I love that everything tastes like chocolate as I am a huge fan of all things chocolate. I received the products in my mailbox right before I went to Manchester. Since the consumption of these supplements, I have lost 3kgs! So I approve of giving this product a try if you need the help.

Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend EMEL by Melinda Looi's My Chantilly Eid 2018 Fashion Show at what used to a British American Tobacco Malaysia factory. The walls were covered with graffiti art inspired by Melinda Looi herself and the lace motif of the collection and Renault cars were driven onto the runway for the celebrities' grand entrance.

“My Chantilly” is a colourful and very wearable collection of modern baju kurung inspired by the beauty of Chantilly lace. Emel, known for creating exclusive prints, has taken it one step further this year with lace-motif fabrics, giving the illusion of an exclusive and delicate lace textile.

The versatility of the collection makes the pieces easy to mix and match, allowing the modern woman to pair stylish tops with EMEL’s signature and flattering bias-cut skirts. The collection features the traditional Malay outfit in a colourful range of lacy prints and colour-block designs, offering exciting choices for every fashionista this coming Raya 2018.

With my date, Adlin

The word EMEL is derived from the word amal which is Arabic for hope, expectation, and aspiration. In Malay, it means good deeds or charity. Each year EMEL brings awareness and raise funds for a charitable cause.

This year, the EMEL team has targeted to collect funds and food aid worth a minimum of RM60,000 to support two orphanages in Kedah for the entire year of 2019, o ensure the kids keep on track with their education. The orphanages - Pertubuhan Asuhan & Didikan Anak Yatim Miskin in Sg. Petani and Rumah Anak Yatim Nur Hidayah in Baling - jointly care for 62 children, and depend on public donations to survive.

The food and funds will be managed and distributed by CHARITY RIGHT, a charitable organization specialized in providing food aid to schools, refugee centers and orphanages. The objective is to keep the kids well nourished hence able to follow through on their education, giving them a chance to break out of the circle of poor education and poverty.

The collection is now available on emelbymelindalooi.com as well as on Fashion Valet and Zalora. EMEL has also lowered the price range on their pieces in order to allow more people to afford the gorgeous line and do charity at the same time.

As you all know, I am a Melinda Looi bride and have seen Mel at work. I can attest to her charitable character. She has a huge heart and I know for a fact that she truly believes in the cause in which she is supporting through this line. I truly admire Mel and her work ethics. Good job, EMEL team!

Faisal's birthday was last August but I've only found the time to blog about it all now. I know I'm such a terrible blogger! I'm not even gonna delve into the million reasons why I haven't been blogging so much. Please forgive me.

During Faisal's first birthday ever, we threw him a party! We rented the Pool Villa at our apartment which has a private pool that everyone was too shy to get into. Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling that well that day but he was super clingy to his Mama Sya. Yay me! Haha. If you follow my instagram you would know that I am totally obsessed with my nephew *cue the baby questions to me*. Haha.

We did a superhero themed party which was a lot of fun especially the cake which I ordered from Melur Cakes. Yasmin is so good. She can whip up anything and I gave her such little time to prepare too! Sorry, babe. You did amazing, though!

We also hired Md Alifas our photographer because we are so comfortable with him and he is so easy to work with. This is the sixth time I've had him as a photographer and I never have to edit his photos. They are taken wonderfully!

It wasn't just a birthday party. It was also a Majlis Doa Selamat for my parents who were headed to perform Hajj (their second time).

Family and friends gathered on such short notice for the birthday boy and his grandparents. It was a really sweet and fun occasion. I absolutely loved the not so little get together especially because my family members live all over the country (and one in Manchester). Even during this event, my sister and younger brother were both unable to attend as my sister was working that day and my brother is in Manchester. We missed you both, terribly!

I was telling Faisal to look at the book Auntie Penny and Auntie Reshween got him.

While my other nephew, Putra Elhan Isa was having the time of his life...

...this boy was clinging on to me for dear life!

Overall, it was an evening well spent! I felt so blessed as I got to see my family and close friends, in a simple celebration of life. Cherish the moments and live life when you have it. My family might not be as lucky as others that get to stay in the same house or even the same city as their families but it is this that makes us appreciate every second in which we are able to spend time together as we truly understand that family is an amazing and wonderful place to be; surrounded by love and support.
